This sketch shows a chaotic scene with people fighting and a man tied to a post. A horse rears up in the middle, and a winged figure hovers above. The background has a small room with a seated woman and a table. The text below is in German and hints at a story of punishment. The artist signed it in 1788. Look up Martin Johann Schmidt next to see more of his dramatic drawings.
